Open access in Sweden

Open access to scholarly communication in Sweden is relatively widespread. In 2010 the Swedish Research Council began requiring its grantees to make research results available in open access form.[1] Lund University Libraries and Stockholm University Press belong to the international Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association.[2]
